Well, where to begin…

Not sleeping well as two of DD mini sausages keep creeping up to our room and getting into our bed and they are tiny, but they sneak under the covers, and wiggle a lot! However, they are also very warm, a bit like living bottle water bottles.

Also my GP receptionist appears to have cancelled an appointment I had today, which as “non urgent” I waited three weeks for grrrrr

Arthritis in hands, particularly in my thumb areas, and knees and hips so much worse now it’s getting colder.

Hey ho!

Finally managed a decent sleep after being wide awake half the night - then DH rudely woke me to say the painter was starting at 8!

Grumps for today. My DHs meds aren’t ready because Boots has a delivery issue.
My arthritis is flaring.
A dog a couple of doors down barked so much last night I didn’t get to sleep until the early hours.

To Crazy H: Have been given two large bars of Cadbury's Wholenut but can only eat two small tabs at a time because of fat digestive issues. Oh, woe is me!

Message from Electrician - hopefully still coming, but much later than expected.
Worse things happen at sea!

Having to think about heating the house as it gets colder.
Arthritis in hands and tiring too quickly.
Lack of interest in preparing food.
Backache.

Well my grumps are today
I lost a screw from my glasses but I had a glasses repair kit but couldn’t see well enough to put the spare tiny screw back in so now need to pop into town to Specsavers for a repair.
My son hasn’t bothered to reply to a simple question I asked a week ago.
Small gripes I know smile

I do not like being sent messages by NHS telling me to go for blood tests and check ups etc. I'm 70 now I am grateful to the service we are offered. However I am not a child and don't like being told what to do I never have and never will.

Inspired by Cossie here goes :
(1) Just been diagnosed pre-diabetic and have to ease off my daily consumption of chocolates and biscuits. Oh how I miss them!!!! I have a bar of cadburys whole nut, and took a teeny bite.
(2) Visited my friend’s newly decorated house. Returned home to my ‘could-do-with-a-paint living room’ . It hurt so much -had a glass of wine to make me feel better . It’s all in the eye of the beholder
(3) Came up to bed hoping to have a nice sleep, when I discovered I had run out of my medication

Go on what are your grumps for today ?
